The work of cancelling claims that
have been proved up on is in full blast at
Oberlin land office now. The defense
now hold the position that the register
and receiver have no power TO try the
cases to set aside a final receiver receipt
OF a patent IlliOnis. Missouri and Iowa
hold il must be done before court of
equity and having jurisdiction. This is
Il view of the best lawyers. The reg
lister and receiver have no power or
to compel attendance on any
contest CT proceedings 10 set aside final
receipt or patent. A law giving them
that power was before last congress but
failed to pass Hence no one is obliged
to appear in contest of any kind. This
is the law though the contrary may be
asserted sometimes.
